Dear FOI Enquiries,
Thank you for your response to my enquiry. However, you have not answered it.
‘Can you tell me if the BBC generally or any department or person is bound by the Official Secrets Act. If
so, could you please identify who is covered.’
I have not asked who has 'signed" the Official Secrets Act (as I understand it signing is not necessary anyway) but whether any particular department or person (as in class of person) is bound by the act.
I look forward to hearing further.
Yours sincerely,
Nicholas Wilson

Dear FOI Enquiries,
Thank you for reply, which is frankly ridiculous. I said I had not asked "who has signed the Official Secrets Act" and you reply that nobody has signed the Official Secrets Act.
Please stop trying to be clever and give me a proper response to my request.
Yours sincerely,
Nicholas Wilson
